Couples Intensives with Lottie & James

Three days. Two Therapists.
One Relationship Changing Experience.

Right now, you might be feeling stuck, disconnected, or like you’re having the same fight on repeat.

​

Maybe you’re tiptoeing around the hard conversations, or wondering if you’ve drifted too far apart to find your way back.

 

You don’t need more time to fix this, you need dedicated, focused space with the right guidance to break the patterns that are keeping you here.

 

That’s what this intensive gives you.

What you'll get in these three days

You and your partner will work with two highly experienced couples therapists, Lottie Passell-Syms and James Penney with 35 years of combined experience helping couples turn their relationships around (or gain the clarity they need to move forward).

 

Across three days, you’ll receive:

​

  • 15 hours of therapy, a mix of joint couple sessions and one-to-one sessions with both therapists.

  • The opportunity to hear Lottie and James talk about your relationship in front of you, sharing insights, questions, and reflections openly, a rare and powerful way to understand how trained therapists see and make sense of your dynamic.

  • A bespoke plan designed around your needs, your story, and your goals as a couple.

  • A full assessment session before the intensive to set intentions and identify key areas for focus (Online or in person).

  • A follow-up session within 3 months to support integration and maintain momentum (Online or in person)

 

Location: Hampshire, UK
Investment: £4,500 per couple* (excludes food and accommodation)

*Payment plans available

This is for you if:

You and your partner are committed to your relationship and are willing to invest time, energy, and honesty into improving it.

​

You want concentrated, high-level therapeutic input that goes far beyond weekly sessions.

​

You’re open to working with two therapists who will both challenge and support you.

​

You value transparency and want to witness how experienced therapists understand your dynamic.

​

You’re ready to take responsibility for your part in the relationship and make changes.

This is not for you if:

There is any current domestic abuse, violence, or coercive control in your relationship.

​

There is an ongoing affair that is undisclosed or unresolved.

​

Either partner is currently in active addiction without recovery support.

​

You’re looking for therapy to “fix” your partner without being willing to work on yourself.

​

You’re seeking legal, financial, or custody advice (this is a therapeutic process, not mediation or legal consultation).

​

You’re unwilling to engage in reflective work or hear challenging feedback.

Why this format works

​Working with two therapists gives you two sets of eyes, ears, and perspectives, allowing for richer insights, more balanced interventions, and the ability to track both partners simultaneously.


By speaking openly with one another in front of you, we make the therapeutic process more transparent, helping you understand not just what is happening in your relationship, but how we arrive at those insights.

 

A more hopeful way forward

​

Couples often come to us when they’re already at breaking point. Some couples come to us at a crossroads, feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure if the relationship can be saved. 

​

An intensive offers the space, focus, and guidance to find clarity.


Some couples tell us the intensive helped them reconnect in ways they didn’t think were possible. Others say it gave them the tools and understanding to part on better terms.

 

Investing in your relationship now can be far less costly, emotionally, financially, and practically, than the toll of separation or divorce.

​

How to book

We work with only a small number of couples each year in this format.

 

If this sounds like the right step for you, book a 15min call today and have the chance to secure your place before they’re publicly available.

​

Session dates are released in January 2026.

​

“I learned valuable tools to help us communicate better and more effectively as well as tools to help us connect intimately.”

“A totally new way of thinking about intimacy with my partner.  To bring us together on a whole new level.”
